Reversing space and time to get somewhere to park (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moorage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get somewhere to park' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'reversing space and time' is the wordplay.
'reversing' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'space' becomes 'room' (enough space or room to do something).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 'age' (an age is a period of time).
'room' reversed gives 'moor'.
'moor'+'age'='MOORAGE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
